Well

I am going to try get a feature in Turbo Magazine when the Turbo is completed... I know a few folks there. The problem is they want all the cars to have wheels, ground-effects, blah, blah, blah as well!

It's the 'appeal' factor...

Exactly, that is why I bought my TL...(c'mon at least it's in the same family as the CL) I have seen far fewer of these that looked rice as compared to the IS which already looks rice.

Because the vast majority of owners are older men and women, we are the minority.

Styling, what cars are on magazine covers? Ones that stand out. Even the G35 has only been on 2 covers.

Everyone's just jealous of our cars. It's hard for people to get out of the norm. When u keep seeing civic, civic,civic, and BMW, BMW,BMW u get used to it and expect to keep seeing them. Tell me what other front wheel drive car will be better than ours. Not many.

My grandfather bought a Golf. Unless its the GTI, bleh. Even then, unless its the VR6 GTI, bleh. The VR6 i can respect, but no way it can outdo a CL. Maby it can outpreform, (too lazy to look up specs right now) but my cl is a lot nicer then a GTI

i am talking about performance mags not your daily... which car is good to buy over another... i just can't imagine a CL being your potential car for modding thats all... the CL is a great car for driving daily but not a car for modding.... this car is for looks to me... just my 2 cents
